Debone the shawa/dried fish and soak in warm water, also soak the dried prawns.

Boil meat/beef and add seasoning...let the stock be rich. Ensure that the stock is rich. My stock always plays a major role in whatever i am cooking. I add thyme,curry, knorr,red onion, garlic, ginger,salt, coriander, blended pepper and green pepper.

when chicken/beef is cooked, Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking dish with foil, Remove meats /chicken from stock and arrange on foil.Let bake/brown for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temp. to 325 degrees. Drizzle one serving spoon of stock over meats and re-arrange. Let it bake/brown another 5 minutes, this will make it hard thus preventing it from scattering in the pot of soup later on.

Add chopped Okro to the boiling pot of orisirisi (the pot sha) an then mix till well blended. Allow it to boil and do not cover or your okro will not 'draw'

Add chopped and washed spinach to the mixture and mix properly. Taste for salt. Usually the salt/maggi in my stock is always enough for my soup so I do not add any more (hence the stock has to be rich!)

Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes and voila! Food is served. You can serve with pounded yam, amala, eba, semo etc. Some folks eat it with rice (????).

"Cut up okro with a knife...I prefer this to blending because the okro will be nice and crunchy instead of a smooth paste." --> infact u got me from the first point, "Ounjẹ ajẹye o ,Yoo gba ibi re ..." lol
